At the crossroads of Val Brembana and Val Taleggio lies one of the most picturesque and history-laden villages in this corner of Bergamo!
A crossroads of valleys, a puzzle of views, many colors: San Giovanni Bianco is closely reminiscent of Harlequin, the character from Italian popular theater who tradition says is linked to these lands.
The town’s historic center has remained virtually intact, still made up of old houses leaning against each other, separated only by narrow alleys.
As many as seven Romanesque bridges give the village its characteristic appearance; from the valley floor the view is priceless.
Finally, don’t miss the “Harlequin House” in the nearby hamlet of Oneta, a perfectly preserved 15th-century noble house where the character who inspired the famous theatrical mask is said to have lived.
